  • Storing data in JavaScript Bigints can optimize performance for specific use cases.
  • Bigints help reduce memory usage and speed up serialization/deserialization.
  • Bit operations on Bigints can be slow compared to regular JS objects.
  • Fields must have a fixed max width; dynamic data isn't supported.
  • Complexity increases due to bit manipulation and testing requirements.
  • Usefulness depends on enabling other optimizations like quick equality checks.
